Start at My Praxis with ID-ready details

North Dakota candidates register all Praxis exams through My Praxis. Create the account with the exact legal name, date of birth, and email you will use for years of score reports. Use the same name on every Praxis registration so score reports match the identity ESPB expects.

Search by test code, not by memory

The ETS North Dakota requirements page lists codes such as 5713, 5723, 5733, 5025, 5165, and 5624. Type the four-digit code into registration search instead of legacy PPST names. Each session bills separately unless ETS displays an allowed bundle in your cart. Content tests and PLT codes never substitute for one another even when titles sound similar.

Add North Dakota ESPB before you pay

During checkout, designate score recipients. For North Dakota licensure, add North Dakota Education Standards and Practices Board using ETS code 7848. If you skip recipients, you can add them later, but additional score reports cost more than selecting 7848 during the original registration. ESPB testing notes on nd.gov/espb describe how the board uses Praxis scores, but ETS owns the recipient list.

Choose test centers or at-home delivery

Use the ETS test center search during registration to see seats available for your code and location. Compare center testing with at-home testing when ETS offers it for your code. Center and at-home logistics for your registration appear in the current Information Bulletin on praxis.ets.org.

Calendar planning with university deadlines

Teacher preparation programs set firm student teaching gates. Map backward from your cooperating teacher start date to Praxis registration deadlines and score reporting windows listed by ETS. Score reports are available online through your ETS account 2 to 3 weeks after the testing window closes, or 2 to 3 weeks after your test date for tests offered continuously (ESPB testing information). Register early enough to retake within the same semester if you miss a qualifying score on ETS scores.

Name consistency

If you marry or legally change your name mid-program, update your My Praxis profile before the test so future score reports match ESPB records. ID requirements are listed in the Information Bulletin and ID Requirements pages on ETS.

Fees beyond the test list price

Each registration includes the base test fee such as $130 for many content exams or $156 for PLT forms in November 2026. Extra score reports, date changes, and additional recipients add line items at checkout. Eligible college students may apply for ETS fee waivers through the official waiver process on praxis.ets.org instead of coupon blogs.

Confirming North Dakota codes after program changes

If your university switches endorsement plans mid-program, re-open the ETS North Dakota requirements page before each registration. Test codes on old student teaching forms may list retired exams. Register using the four-digit code on the current ETS table, not an abbreviation from a syllabus footnote.

Reschedule, retake, and cancel rules

ETS lists fees for moving a test date or canceling within policy windows on praxis.ets.org. ESPB notes retakes can be taken once every 21 days (ESPB testing information); ETS also publishes waiting periods in the Information Bulletin. Before you pay for a second seat, check whether reschedule credit is cheaper than a new registration. Keep cancellation emails so financial aid offices can document timeline changes if they track exam reimbursements.

Social Security number and paper tests

ETS says North Dakota requires a Social Security number to process educator certification paperwork. ETS does not need the number for its own purposes, but it sends it to North Dakota with your test results. ETS warns that leaving it out could delay your certification application.

ETS no longer gives paper tests, except where a paper format is required as an ADA accommodation. Scores from older paper tests can still be reported for 10 years from the test date. Both points are on the ETS North Dakota requirements page.

Sending scores after the fact

If you forget recipient 7848 at registration, you can add score recipients later through My Praxis, usually for an additional fee per report. Do this before your university licensure officer deadline so ESPB receives results in time for your application.

Once a date is booked, pick prep from our Praxis study guides and Praxis practice tests pages.

Quick answers

When should I add ESPB as a score recipient?

During registration or before scores release. Adding 7848 at checkout is cheaper than rush additional score reports later.

Can I register without knowing my exact test code?

You should search by code from your ESPB or university audit. Guessing from old PPST names causes expensive mismatches.

Can my university register for me?

You still need your own My Praxis account for score ownership. Departments may share codes but not passwords.

Does North Dakota have a state registration portal?

Licensure applications run through ESPB systems after exams. Praxis registration remains on ETS.
